Silvercar Is The Family-Friendly Rental Car You Need

Monday, June 4, 2018

*Sponsored Post: I have been gifted a product to give my honest
opinion about. At A Geeky Ginger, I only share products that I fully
support. All opinions are mine and are not influenced by any form of
payment.I took a little family-friendly road trip with my kids and my youngest sister (Miss Yai-Yai) through Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina (and partially into North Carolina). Instead of putting miles on my vehicle, we traveled in style with Silvercar. We rented the Audi Q5 SUV and it was kind of amazing.Let me tell you why...

Silvercar is newer to the rental car community, but is by no means inexperienced or less for it! They offer all the "extras", at no extra cost. Meaning, you get GPS, XM radio, and even WiFi in your vehicle for free.That's right, people.. Your toddler can now stream the "Baby Shark" song for hours upon hours with no cost to your data plan (though the irritation did escalate quickly when that happened).

Anyway, Silvercar is essentially the best at what they do and the reasons for it are these:1) Reserve the vehicle you want on the app (you put in all your information when reserving).2) Get picked up at the airport and brought to your car if you traveled by plane.3) Pick up the car by using the app to scan the car.4) The vehicle comes on a full tank, so no gas station runs for a while.5) Using the tolls doesn't cost you an extra fee, just the cost of tolls.6) Return vehicle at the designated time by just dropping it off. No paperwork. No problems.

It seriously was the easiest car rental experience I've ever had! When I picked up my Q5, it was storming out and I literally just scanned the code, the doors unlocked, and I drove away. Boom. So simple. Silvercar is seriously a game changer when it comes to renting cars!

Not only all of those awesome things, but there is more! The fabulous company, Peg Perego, teamed up with Silvercar to offer TWO TYPES of car seats that you can get with your rental. Again, for free! They offer the Primo Viaggio Convertible or the Viaggio Flex 120, so no matter the age, your child will be able to safely travel in style with you, making it the most family-friendly rental car company.

We got to use the Primo Viaggio Convertible and, I've gotta say, Miss Spunky fell in love with it. Gorgeous design, comfortable (she says), and so easy to install! She really didn't want to give it up when we returned the car.With all of these perks, how can you drive anything else? Getting to use a 2018 Audi Q5 is reason enough for me, but free WiFi and use of a beautiful car seat to keep my girl safe? Yes, please!Next up will be all about where we took this beauty and what sort of family-friendly adventures we enjoyed on the way!

If you could go travel (by car) anywhere, where would you go?? Share in the comments!

The cost, that I've seen, is $49/day for the sedan and $79/day for the SUV. Though, you can typically find discount codes to use. But honestly, I find it to be worth it for something reliable, easy to use, and safe for all parties (even the littlest).
